September 4th 2009 by Recessionista
9/3/09 So correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn that the idea was for Melisse and me to travel around for a year collecting experiences and riding out the recession in light of the fact that neither of us had jobs. Huh. It seems that the universe in its best ironic impersonation of the mad hatter is angling to have other plans for us. That's right, we seem to have numerous offers for gainful employment. From College of the Redwoods to Homer, Alaska, the possibilities are flowing in. What to do? Would we be selling ourselves short by not taking this opportunity to travel for the year? Are we crazy in this day and age to turn down work WITH BENEFITS? Here we are just ambling down the highway minding our own businesses and boom boom boom boom, opportunities come a knockin'. It just goes to show you that the best way to get something is to let it go. I think Murphy said that.

So, what your last three posts (through which I enjoyed getting a glimpse of what you two are experiencing) draw me to see is just how much this adventure is not different from the rest of your life. A vacation, true, but so much in keeping of your relaxed yet concerted searching and experiencing. Granted we must all look to the future and wonder if we are prepared, but your happiness often seems to be where you allow it. That's not to say you should take just any job that happens along (we would like for you to return here)!
Glad to hear you're staying open.
David

Way to go. But I still hold to the plan that in a year you're back here...at Crossroads.
Looks like your tomatoes are producing. House looks good. Kailey just trots past now.
You BETTER come back!
